Checking Out the Burton Syrup

When we were in Burton, Ohio at the end of December, we picked up a little jug of syrup from the town sugar house. Tonight was the perfect opportunity to try it and it was delicious! I made corn pancakes, served with Bob Evans' regular sausage patties and Del Monte citrus salad. What an easy dinner!

Corn Pancakes

3/4 c. flour

1/2 c. cornmeal (we got ours at a little festival from a couple who make it themselves)

1/2 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. sugar

2 c. lowfat buttermilk

1 egg

2 tbsp. oil

1/2 c. corn kernels

Mix all the dry ingredients together. Add everything but the corn. Beat to a thin batter. Add corn. Lightly grease skillet and make pancakes, flipping when bubbles show up on top. Makes about 24.
